RageReviewer I may be giving some credit to the film by giving it a 4 out of 10, but the reason being is that the voice acting isn't bad and the actual idea (not the plot, the idea) was a smart one. Everything else has essentially a sad ending.Well what's the story? Well you have the classic fairy tale of Cinderella as the "main" premise of the story, with Cinderella (played by Sarah Michelle Gellar), the Prince (played by Patrick Warburton, surprising to say the most), and the Evil Stepmother (named Frieda I kid you not, and played by Sigourney Weaver). What's the twist? Honestly, the biggest twist to Cinderella is the addition of the new side-story of an Ashton Kutcher impersonator named Rick (played by Freddy Prinze Jr). What else is going on? Two little creature-things named Munk and Mambo (played by Wallace Shawn and Andy Dick, respectively) are keeping the balance of EVERY SINGLE STORYBOOK CHARACTER in check while their boss, who's just the Wizard with the voice of George Carlin (literally), is on vacation in Scotland. And everything goes downhill from there as the evil stepmother takes control by literally just being a sex-appeal figure. Then lots of issues, an unneeded fight seen, one lame song, and a happy ending that shouldn't be there (Just look at the title!)What's good? Well not a lot. As I said there's the voice talents of Sigourney Weaver, who was slightly enjoyable as more than just sex- appeal. No seriously, Freida says things you can misinterpret simply because you're looking at her apparent cleavage. The late George Carlin only gets about 3 lines, sadly. Wallace Shawn made me shout INCONCEIVABLE throughout the entire film. Though honestly I wanted to tear my hair out from how annoying Andy Dick is in this film, he never shuts up! On top of that Cinderella is selfish, Rick is just as petty and acting too much like a drama queen, and Warburton is the only source of comedy for how stupid his character is. On top of that, the animation is sub-par at best. If it's supposed to be an evil-supportive movie, it sure is a colorful one! But I have to give credit, some of the villains seemed neat. The wolves were likable (even though the Italian accent was out of place - I was expecting a German one), the witches broom-bikes were cool, and even Rumpelstiltskin seemed interesting, except for the fact that he joins the good guys by the end of the film. Finally for the villains, THERE'S TOO MANY TROLLS. It's a simple plot, a twist gone wrong (in both senses), and it is a movie that can be skipped over. If you do watch it however, it's not terrible, it's just something that won't stick out in the back of your mind.

crystal_tears_93 I was very excited when I first heard about this movie since the actors are pretty good and the plot sounded excellent, the way it was all carried out is not that good. The characters, even though they are played by very good actors (Sigourney Weaver!) lack substance and I found myself unable to relate to them. They are not unique in any way and they are not the kind of characters that I will remember a month from now in any way.The lines are not catchy and I couldn't find a single line in the whole movie to catch my attention. There are even parts when the lines are kinda corny and that ruins the whole bad ass attitude the movie is trying to display.

mergatroid-1 I see the movie snobs have been reviewing this movie too. I was tempted to over-rate it just to balance out the overall score, but I'm getting tired of trying to make up for the movie snobs scores. These people remind me of all the reviewers that panned Star Wars when it came out. Of course, it went on to break box office records at the time, which shows us how in tune they were with the general population.The animation in this movie was great. Nothing to complain about at all. The acting was on par with any other animation I have seen. People mention Shrek a lot, and I loved all three of those films, but the third one was a little weak, and I would say this movie was almost as good as Shrek the Third. The animation isn't as awesome, but everything else is pretty even.I found it to be fairly funny and enjoyed the way they turn the classic fairy tale roles on their heads. I also love anything with Patrick Warburton in it. That guy cracks me up.This movie is sure not a rip off of any other movie at all. I see over and over how some reviewers claim everything they review is a rip off of something else. I have heard this exact thinking before, usually from children.I won't go into the story at all so I won't spoil it for you, but suffice it to say that kids will love it, and animation lovers will get a kick out of it. I've had it in my collection for about a year, and I think I've watched it three times. Enjoy it, I think you'll be glad you watched it.

rajeshk-4 I saw this movie, and i liked it.. well it lives to my expectations. Story line is interesting and funny. IMHO its worth seeing at least once. Hope fully the DVD contains some other extra information like making-of Animation, story visualizations.. I liked the animation too, even though its not up to pixar quality , it lives up to my expectation, and its appealing. Certainly this movie goes in to my Home DVD collection. The story line is where it all starts getting interested. The scenes and plots were good, except some moments you feel the walk and climb feel little awkward and unnatural, but overall the animation quality and the Cinderella facial expressions are very well done, and it adds up to the personality. Certainly a good one to watch.
